Rieko Kodama, also known as Phoenix Rie, was a Japanese video game artist, director, and producer employed by Sega. Kodama joined Sega as a graphic designer in 1984 and was primarily known for her work on role-playing games including the original Phantasy Star series, the 7th Dragon series, and Skies of Arcadia.
Kodama is often recognized as one of the first successful females in the video game industry. She was often asked for her thoughts on the relationship between women and video games.
Kodama believed that more women were taking an interest in gaming culture because they were growing up around them more as young girls.
While she did not design games strictly for female audiences, she designed characters that are appealing to both men and women and avoided including elements that treat women unfairly.
